Slovenian skipper Uroš Kraševac has claimed his second EUROSAF European title of the season, conquering a grueling 134-nautical-mile solo circumnavigation of Denmark’s island of Funen at the EUROSAF BENETEAU First 27 SE Euros 2026. Racing within the iconic Silverrudder – Challenge of the Sea regatta, the offshore specialist delivered a commanding performance on the Baltic to secure Gold in Svendborg.
The EUROSAF BENETEAU First 27 SE & Seascape27 European Single-Handed Championship tested skippers to their limits, demanding a rare blend of seamanship, tactical nous, and raw endurance across an unforgiving solo offshore course. Kraševac rose above the fleet with a flawless display, adding to his remarkable 2026 campaign. Earlier this season, he secured Gold alongside Lisa Berger at the EUROSAF BENETEAU First 18 SE European Championship at Lake Attersee in Austria, making this latest triumph a truly monumental double.
Danish skipper Per Cederberg thrilled the home crowd with an impressive showing to claim Silver, while Kåre Gibsholm-Madsen completed the podium in Bronze after a relentless multi-hour duel through the Great Belt. All competitors raced on identical modern 27-foot pocket-racers, underscoring the pure one-design nature of the championship and ensuring that results came down to skill rather than equipment.
The Silverrudder regatta continues to cement its reputation as one of the most demanding solo sailing events in Northern Europe, drawing an international fleet eager to test themselves on Denmark’s challenging coastal waters. For Kraševac, the double Gold haul in a single season marks him as one of the standout performers on the European offshore circuit this year.
